Cookie Cake Bars

Apologies for the caps… it all feels a piece surreal at the second. My total schedule just appropriate unfolded in entrance of my eyes and I’m a piece take care of “woah!”.

I indubitably hold these improbable cookie cake bars to half with you at the unusual time, but I belief I’d point to what I’ve been up to for the outdated few months and what my plans are for the future first. (so all in favour of this!)

Where to begin… it’s been loopy. In myself, I’ve felt aloof and relaxed. I took a actually methodical and logical methodology to all of my projects this year and I’ve executed feeling great better than closing year. 2nd year modified into terrible, not going to lie. I didn’t want to return for my closing year as I hated 2nd year so great.

It modified into so many things, but made worse by the reality that I transferred from one more Uni and had to resolve exact into a unusual procedure at the same time as furthermore juggling a dwelling, a weblog and 6 modules. I reveal I modified into mentally, great better ready for this year.

I furthermore decided at the starting of term that I wished to work with meals and be a blogger, so the stress modified into off in loads of concepts, I didn’t want to connect fully all the pieces that that you must perchance well well factor in to get a job in attach at the tip of it. This doesn’t mean I modified into indolent and didn’t anguish with my work. When I attach something, I attach it successfully and place 110% into it.

However, I managed to serve a important better work/life steadiness this time. Closing year, each time a tiny dinky part obligatory altering, I’d be up all hours doing it. This year, I worked all day, but stopped when my boyfriend got dwelling from work. I didn’t work at weekends except just lately and I figured out my grades were going up and I felt loads better. My tutors even commented on how great better I modified into this year and I if truth be told maintain it’s all the system down to me having a destroy.

It allowed me to aloof down and then come Monday morning when I started work again, my mind had had time to leisure and I could well well knuckle down and get things executed. Closing year I modified into all in favour of my projects allllllllllll the time, I got so absorbed in them, I don’t assume it modified into healthy! Nobody can point of curiosity 24/7, but I modified into attempting to. Resulting from I modified into working your total time I couldn’t take a step serve and think again things.

I had my closing presentation on the 15th Would possibly maybe well perchance presumably and it went if truth be told successfully. In the event you realize me for my half, you’ll know I’m a piece rubbish at presenting and having of us taking a hold a examine me. Although I put collectively to serve my snort exact, I on the total plod lustrous crimson – palms, face, chest – far and broad! I just appropriate despise of us staring at me closely. By some means, I modified into the calmest I’d ever been in my closing, went within the associated coloration I came out haha!!

Then we had to construct the stands for the exhibition. In the event you’ve read my weblog over the closing couple of years, you’ll know I don’t assume great of my Uni or the staff and exhibition constructing modified into a nightmare. No longer even going to plod into how rude the staff were after we were giving up our weekend to help, but let’s just appropriate leave it at “I modified into shaking with infuriate when I left”.

The exhibition construct up day modified into a nightmare. How easy is it to ship an e mail to all people announcing we fully, must check print our layouts by Tuesday? Smartly, nope. Me and 3 others did, all people else become up on Wednesday (the day of the exhibition) to check print and then we had to help except lunch time before we even started to closing print, even supposing we were ready at 9am! It modified into so irritating, I had a mental opinion of how the day would plod, alongside side having a whereas to come dwelling, paint my nails and get stuff executed. As a substitute, it modified into a manic proceed dwelling at 15:30 to accumulate up my fogeys and substitute. No time to eat or attach my nails 🙁

By the point I got to the exhibition, I just appropriate wasn’t within the mood. I tantalizing great shunned all people all night and even left to plod and get some meals. Then we came serve, got bored and came dwelling at 8pm. I do know it’s not regularly an commercial for the qualified graduate showing off her work, but I modified into just appropriate fully drained and executed with it all 🙁 Sad if truth be told, that I’ve place all this money, time and energy in and I’m just appropriate so ill of it, I don’t even care now.

Anyway…. it’s executed now and I by no draw hold to plod there again. So, I’m serve to running a blog and baking and I just appropriate can’t wait to get shapely serve into the swing of things!

Even supposing all of this stuff has been occurring, I’ve been making some notable choices about my subsequent steps just lately and furthermore been attempting to learn more about pictures and meals styling, so right here goes with my plans!

1. My real opinion modified into to weblog half of time and get a component time job. My boyfriend and I indubitably were speaking loads as I’ve come to the tip of my stage about your next step as we hold now a dwelling and payments take care of all rather loads of couple! I do know I’m within the minority and incredibly lucky, but I modified into by no draw going to plod plump time as I don’t want to. I wasn’t introduced up to just appropriate are dwelling off of any individual else’s laborious work, but I’m within the enviable procedure of not desiring, but rather desirous to work.
2. So the resolution is – I will weblog plump time except September. I will be working incredibly laborious to get this weblog serve off the bottom, as I modified into starting up to before I had to pause to connect Uni. I’m going to be specializing in this 100% and attempting to get my weblog available within the market and more neatly-liked, in advise that with any luck I’m able to begin to compose some more or less earnings. If, by September nothing has took place, I will begin trying to fetch a component time job and plod to running a blog half time.
3. In the end I will attach my cookbook! It’s sitting there half of written! Since, I’ve just appropriate had about 10 hand ins within the closing month, I could well well also leave it a whereas, just appropriate as a result of I’d take care of a destroy from components in time!
4. However, I’m going to begin writing a schedule list for the weblog. In the previous it’s continuously been in my head “I’ll weblog Tuesday and Thursday”, but I’m going to jot down a factual schedule alongside side baking times, pictures, editing and submit writing! Any guidelines for this could perchance well well be very much appreciated!
5. I’ve been reading the wise Plate to Pixel: Digital Meals Photography & Styling and am just appropriate drinking it up. It’s ravishing. Meals styling doesn’t come that naturally to me, so I’m planning on finding out as great as I’m able to to better strengthen my pictures.
6. I read this awesome submit and couldn’t maintain that I’d by no draw heard of Pack up lens kits for cameras. I’m on a piece a funds and can’t rather fetch the money for a Macro lens yet, so I’ve equipped myself these Polaroid 52mm Macro Stop Up 4 Half Filter Package. I’ve handiest archaic them as soon as and I’m in take care of! I exercise a Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens and it’s large, but typically I’m just appropriate desirous to get that tiny bit closer to the article of meals I’m photographing! So, I’m surely going to be working laborious on getting better with these!

Now, let’s snort meals!

Ever prefer a cookie and a cake, but can’t resolve between the two? Now you don’t hold to!
